She Innovates

The Women in Computer Science (WiCS), School of Computing and Information, and Innovation Institute are delighted to bring you She Innovates, Pitt’s only all-women hackathon.

PARTICIPATE IN THE 2019 SHE INNOVATES HACKATHON!

JANUARY 25-27, 2019

The Women in Computer Science (WiCS), School of Computing and Information, and Innovation Institute are delighted to bring you She Innovates, Pitt’s only all-women hackathon.

The kick-off event will be on Friday, January 25, 2019 at 5:30 p.m. on the 3rd Floor of the Information Science Building. The Project Expo and Closing Ceremony will take place on Sunday, January 27, 2019 at 10 a.m. – 12 p.m. on the 3rd Floor of the Information Science Building.

The hackathon is for all female students – undergraduates and graduates – in the Greater Pittsburgh area with or without a computer science background. All experience levels are encouraged to register. Come for a weekend filled with hacking, technical talks, mentorship, and fun!

If you are without a team or hacking experience, don’t stress! The She Innovates kick-off party will feature team formation, idea pitching, and a Q&A session for first-time hackers. You can also find a team ahead of time using Pitt’s TeamFinder. We will even have mentors on site to help guide you through the hacking process.

You do not want to miss She Innovates!

What is a hackathon?

A hackathon is an event where people come together, break into teams, and develop cool technical projects in a limited amount of time.
